Shields are terrible right now. Not to mention the fact that every weapon tears through shields. On top of that we have to place shield regulators, to try and get our shields back, which means we can't put on armor plates in those slots. It's terribad

I think that 'example' can be pretty cherrypicked. It can be quite possible to stack large amounts of shields *and* armor on the cal assault, and because shields rep much faster than armor (once their recharge kicks in) the turnaround on your total EHP is better (because armor reps sloooowly).

Basically it's a niche type of fit that allows you to more often have a larger portion your total EHP pool available in individual engagements. This doesn't mean necessarily that shield tanks are 'fine'.

Just give caldari a stat increase to sheild hp, recharge rate, depleted recharge time, and recharge time.

They're the best but still **** is why. And, I do fit regs I don't armor stack but thats the thing also the regs take away our ability to stack bio and electronics mods and one of them is in high slots while you guys can hop do more damage or stack shields. Also why would you guys need to stack to have reps like us you guys can stack way more ehp than us and still deal massive damage.
And besides the hp bonus up there would be minor but the others would go up. Caldari are the shield version of Gallente they rep fast and we should to, but faster since we're weak ass shields.

It's not moot, high armor is part of the reason we want a shield buff, plus you don't need reps, 3 out of 5 games will always have a guy with rep tools, making armor reps obsolete, which in turn makes shield reps obsolete, alone a shield regen with 2 complex shield recharges is 66 per every, what? 4 seconds without complex regs? All this on amedium cal suit. A min logi can give an amarr medium stacking armor plates over 120 per what? 0.20 seconds? Thats what it feels like, and i've been on both ends of said repping, so I can tell from experience, and th excuse "go for the logi"doesn't apply if the amarr suit is in the way, or if the logi is around the corner, by which time in this scenario, i'd have died 6-8 times until I give up and go else where.

Regardless of scenario A, even if the enemy armor didn't have a logi, my weapon requires spooling, my enemies do not, breach AR rips through shield and armor, like the CR and the ScR and its aslt variant. It doesn't matter if my suit's suppose to"function" differently, theres a formula to CQC battles that simply cant be met with the current gimpy shield suits, we need a proper buff.

So your saying that shield's should remain lower in HP value to armor? I can fit recharges and shield extenders and regulator's just fine, and I didn't say AR, I said BREACH AR. The shield suits you speak of: Min assaults don't rely on shield's they rely on armor plates, cal scout has horrible/problematic hit boxes, not an excuse for no shield buff's unless you plan to give caldari broken hit boxes that nobody can hit. Caldari commando is absolute trash, it's most viable simply sniping and defending one's self when someone decides to take out a DS to hunt your ass, if their not in an ADS of course. and Min scout, again, doesn't rely on shield's, they use myrofibs and once more, like all other scout's, have horrible/problematic hit boxes, and once more, not an excuse for no buffing or no rebalancing's, (also the tac ar does pretty well against armor as well my friend's have beaten high HP armor fit's with them). So, what's your next move? Otherwise i'll call checkmate on this (no joke, no troll).

If that would be the case, then we would need a shield buff any how, a buff to overall shield HP to make overall use to the shield reps, it's only common sense at that point...

Just because armor tankers have their armor reps the way they want them, and the tech to support it. Doesn't mean we shouldn't have both. Also I wasn't going to go out of my way to ask for everything. But since you suggested it. Why not?

The amount of shield tank on a caldari suit is low, to give shield repair tools but not increase shield HP to make proper use out of them is counter-intuitive, armor suits survive because they can take and soak up damage and get repped at the same time, if they get low, they find cover, and said logi can get 2k WP's from this, for the shield rep to be effective, shield HP needs to be improved.

Once again, it doesn't matter how fast I get my shields back, if I'm already laying on the ground with guts hanging out of my ass

See, this is exactly what I was talking about... This logic, nothing will get done for shield's because you like the easy kills, the easy time you get killing shield player's, this is why shield players complain, it's not easy using an RR in CQC not easy killing an armor suit at 40+ meters with one either, but with an AR/SCR/CR/RR they beat you as shield's, the caldari are suppose to be the best at caldari tech, you know **** it, your not gonna understand cause you don't play it with nothing but shield mod's, no damage mods, no dampeners, just regs, extenders, and recharges, with nothing but the RR, use it for the next 3 month's and then tell me if it's fine...

Lol, i've placed armor mod's on my Ck0, i've out lived, most players with all the weapons, including CR, mod's don't need a buff the suit needs changes, I shouldn't be capable of taking on amarr with an SCR and win with the RR in both cqc AND long range, while using armor mods, if I can do that, then either some mods are broken, or their too powerful. I've taken hit's from MD's too, not a problem, CR? give me a break, only reason it ever kills me, is cause I get jumped, or it's a jumper, everything that goes against armor, isn't as severely damaging as you make it out to be. (Every post you make, you seem to prove my logic right).

Breach AR used to be OP.
